About Kristine
Kristine Edstrom is a licensed professional counselor clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, life changes, and ADHD. She creates a calm space where people can name what’s hard and talk through feelings without judgment. Taking a first step can feel big, and she aims to walk alongside clients as they find more balance and satisfaction in daily life.
Kristine uses clear, straightforward methods in sessions. She focuses on listening closely and responding to what each person needs in the moment. Sessions often involve practical tools and skills people can try between meetings. The goal is to make therapy feel useful for everyday problems, not just something to talk about.
Her approach draws on client-centered work, which prioritizes the person's own goals and pace, and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and try new strategies. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help manage strong emotions and stay grounded. Trauma-focused methods are used when past experiences affect current life.
Kristine has nine years of experience in clinical work overall. She practices in Minnesota and holds the LPCC credential. Sessions are conducted in English. People who live outside the United States are not accepted at this time.

How these approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and pace. The therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what feels most helpful, which can make online sessions feel personal and adaptable. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change thinking and behavior patterns; online work often includes short exercises and practice between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions and building coping skills, which can be taught in-session and practiced during the week.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and suggest methods that fit their goals. Decisions about which techniques to try are made together and adjusted as progress is seen.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules by reducing travel time and making it easier to attend during a lunch break or between responsibilities. Some formats also let people use brief check-ins or focused skills practice when full-length sessions are harder to arrange. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to choose a setup that fits everyday life and commitments.
